EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is a green building certification system that enables design teams and project owners to assess ways to incorporate energy and water-saving options into their buildings. An innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, EDGE combines speed with market intelligence, bringing an investment focus to green building certification in more than 140 countries. EDGE responds to the need for a measurable solution to prove the financial case for building green. EDGE is comprised of a web-based software application, a universal standard and a certification system. If your project earns a minimum prediction of 20% less energy, water and embodied energy in materials, then it meets the EDGE standard and is ready for certification.
